All things considered, Robinho’s efforts on the night were outstanding, in what was ostensibly an error free outing full of positives.

Brazil will be hoping the man who’s won 98 international caps for his country can continue to wind back the clock for Dunga’s men, for if he can keep up this level of performance, maybe, just maybe, Brazil might be able to replicate the triumph of 2007.

And wouldn’t that be something, especially considering the trials and tribulations the side has already had to endure throughout this tournament.
